I’m very honored and really happy. World Maker has been updated frequently, and the added functions and materials helped me a lot when creating my submitted work. If you have a story in your head, please give it a try. ” ■ Judge’s comment “This was my first time serving as a judge and I had a lot of fun!As someone like me who can only draw manga, all of the entries were interesting, and I thought it was great to be able to create a story. I had the impression that there were a lot of well-organized works, so I wanted to see more rough-hewn and well-defined works.” “The finalist works were vividly drawn with projects drawn from slightly unusual angles, stories that were carefully woven to move emotions, and charming characters. As a judge, it was a refreshing surprise to know that if you have something you want to express, you can use the tool called World Maker to give it form.Even if you think it is impossible for you to create something, it was a refreshing surprise. If you are interested in creation, please follow us and jump in. With Maker, you might discover a talent you didn’t even know you had. I’m looking forward to meeting new talents in the future!” ■ “World Maker” ● Release date: Wednesday, July 12, 2023 ● Price: Basic free (some charges apply) ● Compatible OS: iOS, macOS, Android, Windows ● Compatible devices: Smartphones, tablets, PCs *On the web version, you can only view works and events. *Some functions may not be supported depending on the OS. *It may be difficult to display if the screen size is small. *Currently preparing to distribute the app overseas A new app service (developed and operated by Kayak, an interesting corporation) designed by the Shonen Jump editorial department to discover new talent for anime, manga, movies, dramas, and commercials.
